A couple’s wedding proposal was unintentionally screened by New York Knicks All-Star forward Julius Randle.
No matter what happens to the New York Knicks over the rest of the 2023-24 NBA season and the rest of his metropolitan career, Julius Randle got to partake in a ring ceremony at Madison Square Garden before all was said and done.
The New York Knicks’ All-Star forward had a humorous, if not unintentional, role in a marriage proposal gone wrong yet right at MSG on Thursday when the Detroit Pistons were in town: during a timeout, a couple was surprised with tickets to Radio City Music Hall’s long-running “Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes.” The unidentified woman involved received a further surprise when her beau dropped to one knee and asked her hand in marriage, which she accepted to the cheers of the crowd assembled.
Love was in the air, but it hadn’t reached Randle: in the background, Randle could be seen exiting the Knicks’ huddle early to confront official Brandon Adair, their lively argument somewhat sullying an otherwise romantic moment, though the couple didn’t seem to mind or notice.
Randle, of course, could hardly be faulted for his intrusion: he was obviously unaware of the gentleman’s intentions and was perhaps seeking any fairness the Knicks could get in a surprisingly spirited battle with the lowly Pistons.
In any case, Randle certainly earned some love from the sellout crowd at MSG, scoring 29 points (including 15 in the final period) as the Knicks withstood a challenge from the Pistons, prevailing 118-112 in the finale of a four-game homestand. Randle followed that up with a near-triple-double on Friday, putting up 20 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists in a 119-106 triumph in Toronto.
